Improving access to refractive and eye health services

Community Eye Health Journal, 2016
Avoidable blindness and vision impairment affects 741 million people worldwide. Uncorrected refractive error (URE) is the major cause, accounting for 84% of all cases, or 625 million people. Despite URE being easily detected, measured and corrected, many

Influence of uncorrected refractive error and unmet refractive error on visual impairment in a Brazilian population [PDF]

BMC Ophthalmology, 2014
The World Health Organization (WHO) definitions of blindness and visual impairment are widely based on best-corrected visual acuity excluding uncorrected refractive errors (URE) as a visual impairment cause. Recently, URE was included as a cause of visual impairment, thus emphasizing the burden of visual impairment due to refractive error (RE ...
